It is officially Summer, but it seems to have hit South Florida early this year. We've had the afternoon thunderstorms, humidity, heat, and some glorious days of bright sun. The plans are already under way. First up is an engagement party on June 29th. The next day I will be going with Mr. S to the Jersey Shore for the 4th of July weekend. ( We will be meeting up with Nancy and some other of Mr. S's extended family.)
Upon the return, the invasion of visitors begins. Most of the girls are like little sisters to me (except my cousins). My cousin and son (9 yrs old) will be the first to arrive. He will be here until August 10, so many activities with children will be the order of the day (this includes trips to the pool, beach, museums, a birthday party, movies, bowling, etc). Next will be a friend from Virginia and her new beau staying for a few days and then taking a cruise. A friend from Atlanta and her son (7 yrs old) will be coming twice this summer. Next up is the Massachusetts group: Husband, wife, and 3 boys (3 yrs old and twins that are 1 yr old). Last, but not least is my cousin from Maryland, her husband and two teenagers (boy and girl). Whew! I gotta make sure the BBQ is clean and the house is in order and stocked up.
This is not including the expected tropical storms and hurricanes for this season. Supplies have been purchased and the generator is ready. Though, some more food supplies might be needed. It's all part of the cost of living in South Florida. I do prefer hurricanes than other natural occurrences....at least you know it's coming and can prepare.
Also during the summer is the planning and staffing of some church youth events that I have committed to assist with. Not included are the unexpected family things that come up.
My camera got busted on the way back from the Bahama's, but the new, upgraded one will be here any day! So, (crossing my fingers) I will have some good pictures to share.
Hope all of you have a good Summer and enjoy some nature, some family and friends and take a little time to enjoy and relax.... at least take some quiet time for yourself.... Peace!
